Certain age? Log on and see the start on a Monday, by the end on a Friday have forgotten about it or had to got to bed early🤔😮🫢

same here, TBH i much prefer straight sales with set prices but also there is probably the 'market' factor as sales in general are down across the board atm

April 2013 and it was in gold with a sand blasted finish.  By pure coincidence it weighs around 1oz and I've never noticed until today but they've stamped the purity onto the bottom edge.
 

When I saw these I knew you'd buy them. Doesn't '365 days of silver' showcase the Art Nouveau piece on his Channel?

30 left. BUMP for members who haven't seen this. I have also put up a banner  

Mine arrived today. Thank you so much. Another great addition to my collection of TSF bars

Hi all,
I'm a new to the Silver Forum and wanted to reach out to you all and say hello.  I am interested in stacking gold and silver and heard about the site on Backyardbullion's YouTube channel (which is great by the way).
I've been stacking for a couple of years now and will be buying more gold and silver when I can from this forum.
I'm really impressed with the variety and quality of stuff that's available here.  The Silver Forum seems like great resource and I look forward to interacting with other members in future and developing relationships that are mutually beneficial.
All the best and thanks for taking the time to read my post. 
Kind regards 
Vesper

Personally, I think those graded halves at £330 are an absolute steal and keep thinking about getting them myself. However, I don’t need them and having built a decent gold base over the last 18 months I’m far more minded to buy less right now, esp with people (myself included) wanting to retain a higher premium if selling right now. Bullion will still move quickly if priced right, I just don’t think sellers like the ‘right price’ currently and it creates a bit of a stand off. King Charles definitely not as likeable as Queen Elizabeth (in my opinion) but RM overload is likely to blame, alongside life just getting more costly in recent times (plus a degree of uncertainty over the year ahead)

Hello everyone. @ChrisSIlver and I are very happy to announce the official reveal and general release of the 2023 100g Silver Forum Bars!
There are a lot of different aspects to tell you about so I have split this post up into various sections, hopefully this will cover most of your questions but if there is something I have not covered then please feel free to get in touch or comment on this thread. 

What are The Silver Forum Bars all about?
The Silver Forum Bars (in all their sizes) have been created as a way to draw the silver forum community together but also as a fundraising and brand awareness raising exercise. Some of the proceeds from the sales of these bars go directly to The Silver Forum and help keep the forum running in the way we have become accustomed to. Silver Premium, Gold Premium, Platinum and Platinum Plus memberships go a long way to helping the running of the forum and to help keep the membership prices as low as practical, The Silver Forum Bars we make help a lot with this too.
Any support you can give is greatly appreciated.
In addition, these bars are about raising brand awareness for The Silver Forum and to encourage new people to join and to make standard members think about supporting the forum by upgrading their membership or simply supporting the forum on a one off basis. 
Hand Poured Silver Partnership
Hand poured silver has evolved so much in the last 7 years and it is evident that Hallmarked Poured silver is becoming ever more popular.
These bars are all hand poured, stamped and finished by myself meaning each and every bar is unique in some way. The weights will vary bar to bar (although none less than 100g) and the cooling patterns of the silver will also be unique and different for each one. Even the stamping (again done by hand) is different bar to bar.
The allure of hand poured silver is growing stronger month by month and these bars are a brilliant way to start collecting hand poured silver and at the same time supporting the forum and my own business too!
Hallmarking
As with all of my Hand Poured Silver products these bars are Assay Tested and Hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office. 
These bars are hallmarked with a 2mm sized mark - it is a larger and more expensive mark than normal but it really shows off the beauty of the Edinburgh Assay Office's work. 
Hallmarking is a very good addition to any poured silver. It is your guarantee that these bars are indeed 999 fine silver and made by me in 2023.
If anyone wants to find out more about hallmarking please feel free to get in touch!

Ready for Immediate Dispatch!
The bars are all made and hallmarked and ready to go. 
Mintage Figures
The mintage for 2023 is 175 Bars matching the previous years mintage. 
Mintage figures are as follows for all the releases of 100g bars to date:
2023: 175 bars

2021: 175 bars
2020: 150 bars
2019: 100 bars

Guaranteed bars for owners of 2022 editions
As with all our Silver Forum products we offer first right of refusal to all owners of a previous years serial number. 
So, the following applies:
If you own a bar with a serial number between 1 and 175 from 2022 then you will be able to buy the same serial number for 2023. If you wish to reserve that number you need to do so BEFORE 17th September 2023. Members who do not own bars from 2022 will be able to put their name down on a waiting list for unallocated bars. After 17th September 2023 we will know how many bars are still available against how many people are on the waiting list. In the event that there are more members than bars available we will draw a random ballot to allocate bars to people. We will then communicate a fair and open way to decide who gets what bar serial numbers. Not got a 2022 bar? Join the waiting list today!
To formally join the waiting list all you need to do is comment on this thread or drop me a PM that you wish to have a bar. 
I hope that all makes sense. In summary, you have until 17th September 2023 to reserve and/or pay for your existing serial numbers if you have a 2022 edition.
A few notes on pricing of these bars
These bars are hand poured, hand stamped and polished by me. They take a lot of time and energy and equipment to create. These are premium hand poured silver products, not cheap bullion. They are a way to support the Backyard Bullion business, my brand and most importantly, The Silver Forum. As I said earlier, proceeds from the sale of these bars go towards the upkeep and running costs of this forum. This helps keep membership prices as low as possible for premium and gold premium members and ensures that standard members can still use this forum for free. The price also incorporates the Hallmarking costs, this includes postage of these bars to and from Edinburgh and the application of the hallmark.
Standard members - The difference in price is as a way for you to support the forum in a one off style payment rather than signing up for membership. But also please feel free to upgrade your membership to take advantage of the discounts available. 
Payment Information
To secure the reservation of your bars and serial numbers you will need to pay me before 17th September 2023
If you are interested then please let me know in this thread or via PM and I will then reply with the payment information.
Payment will be via Banks Transfer or PayPal. We can accept other forms of payment too, just ask if you would like to find out more. 
Also, I welcome all feedback and any questions you might have about these bars. 
Thanks for reading and thanks for supporting The Silver Forum!
 
 
 

Cracking bars these and nice solid chunks of silver to show off/beat up zombies with/use as vampire repellent/stick in vault. 
And they help keep this madhouse running. 
What more could you want? (Don't answer that). 

🚩 Half of these have finally landed. I'll get pricing confirmed and get them into capsules asap. 
If you're on the order list, I'll be contacting you soon. 
Thanks again for everyone's patience. 

Hey @Silver1985 welcome to the forum!
Good look with your silver and gold hunting. There are some very good value listings on here. To get the best ones, it would be worth signing up to be at least a silver member. You will get instant access to the listings then as apposed to waiting 3 days as a free member. Having said that its a little slow at the moment so some good deals my become available to you.

Hey👀, I would buy it if still available please

Well, to be truthful at £1530 each, but that includes RMSD, so actually a few  pence under spot when postage and packaging costs are taken into account. I have three of these. They are all in excellent bullion condition, all purchased from Chards. They are of course identical, hence photos of only one of them. (All three do exist, however.) They come in square, padded, acrylic cases.
Thank you for looking.

Sorted 🥰
